And yet not three Lords but one Lord. For like as we be compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge euery person by himselfe to be God and Lord. So are wee forbidden by the Catholique Religion to say there be three Gods or three Lords The Father is made of none neither created nor begotten The Sonne is of the Father alone not made nor created but begotten The holy Ghost is of the Father and of the sonne neither made nor created nor begotten but proceeding So three is one Father not three fathers one Sonne not three sonnes one holy Ghost not three holy ghost And in this Trinitie none is afore or after other none is greater or lesse then another But the whole three persons bee coeternall together and cocquall So that in all things as is aforesaid the Vnitie in Trinitic and the Trintie in Vnitie is to be worshipped Hee therefore that will bee saued must thus thinke of the Trinitie Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting saluation that he also beleeue rigthtly in the incarnation of our Lord Iesus Christ For the right faith is that wee beleeue and confesse that our Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of God is God and man God of the substance of the father begotten before the worlds and man of the substance of his mother borne in the world Perfect God and perfect man of a reasonable soule and humane flesh subsisting Equall to the Father as touching his godhead and inferior to the Father touching his manhood Who although he be God and man yet he is not two but one Christ One not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh but by taking of the manhood into God One altogether not by confusion of substance but by vnitie of person For as the reasonable soule and flesh is one man so God and man is one Christ Who suffered for our saluation descended into hell rose againe the third day from the dead He ascended into heauen he sitteth on the right hand of the Father God Almighty from whence he shalll come to iudge the quicke and the dead At whose comming all men shall rise againe with their bodies and shall giue accompt for their owne workes And they that haue done good shall goe into life
I thanke thee that I am not as other men are extortioners vniust adulterers or as this Publicane I fast twise in the weeke I giue tithe of all that I possesse And the Publicane standing afarre off woulde not lift vp his eyes to heauen but smote his breast saying God be mercifull to me a sinner I tell you this man departed home to his house iustified more then the other For euery man that exalteth himselfe shall be brought lowe and he that humbleth himselfe shall be exalted The xij Sunday after Trinitie The Collect. ALmightie and euerlasting God which art alwayes more ready to heare then we to pray and art wont to giue more then either we desire or deserue powre downe vpon vs the abundance of thy mercie forgiuing vs those things whereof our conscience is afraid and giuing vnto vs that that our prayer dare not presume to aske through Iesus Christ our Lord. The Epistle SVch trust haue wee through Christ to God-ward 2. Cor. 3.4 not that we are sufficient of our selues to thinke any thing as of our selues but if wee bee able vnto any thing the same commeth of God which hath made vs able to minister the new Testament not of the letter but of the spirit For the letter killeth but the spirit giueth life If the ministration of death through the letters figured in stones was glorious so that the children of Israel could not beholde the face of Moses for the glorie of his con̄tenance which glory is done a way why shall not the ministration of the spirit bee much more glorious For if the ministration of condemnation be glorious much more doeth the ministration of righteousnes exceed in glory The Gospel IEsus departed from the coastes of Tyre and Sidon Mar. 7.31 and came vnto the Sea of Galilee through the mids of the coastes of the ten cities And they brought vnto him one that was deafe and had an impediment in his speech and they prayed him to put his hande vpon him And when he had taken him aside from the people hee put his fingers into his eares and did spit and touched his tongue and looked vp to heauen and sighed and said vnto him Ephata that is to say Bee opened And straightway his eares were opened and the string of his tongue was loosed and he spake plaine And he commanded them that they should tell no man But the more hee forbade them so much the more a great deale they published saying He hath done all things well he hath made both the dease to heare and the dumbe to speake The xiij Sunday after Trinitie The Collect. ALmighty and merciful God of whose onely gift it commeth that thy faithfull people doe vnto thee true and laudable seruice Grant we beseech thee that we may so runne to thy heauenly promises that wee faile not finally to attaine the same through Iesus Christ our Lord. The Epistle TO Abraham and his seed were the promises made He faith not Gal. 3.16 In his seedes as many but in thy seede as of one which is Christ This I say that the law which began afterward beyond foure hundred thirty yeeres doeth not disanull the Testament that was confirmed afore of God vnto Christward to make the promise of none effect For if the inheritance come of the lawe it commeth not now of promise But God gaue it to Abraham by promise Wherefore then serueth the law The lawe was added because of transgression till the seed came to whom the promise was made and it was ordained by Angels in the hand of a Mediatour A mediatour is not a mediatour of one but God is one Is the Law then against the promise of God God forbid For if there had been a Law giuen which could haue giuen life then no doubt righteousnes should haue come by the law But the Scripture concludeth all things vnder sinne that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should bee giuen to them that beleeue The Gospel HAppie are the eyes which see the things that yee see For I tell you that many Prophets and Kings haue desired to see those things which yee see Luke 10.23 and haue not seene them and to heare those things which yee heare haue not heard them And behold a certaine lawyer stood vp and tempted him saying Master what shall I do to inherite eternall life Hee sayd vnto him What is written in the lawe How readest thou And he answered and said Loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soule and with all thy strength with all thy minde and thy neighbour as thy selfe And he said vnto him Thou hast answered right this doe and thou shall liue But he willing to iustifie himselfe sayd vnto Iesus And who is my neighbour Iesus answered and sayd A certaine man descended from Hierusalem to Iericho and fell among theeues which robbed him of his raiment wounded him and departed leauing him halfe dead And it chanced that there came down a certaine Priest that same way and when he saw him he passed by And likewise a Leuite when hee went nigh to the place came and looked on him and passed by But a certaine Samaritane as he iourneyed came vnto him and when he saw him he had compassion on him and went to him and bound vp his wounds and powred in oyle and wine and set him on his owne beast and brought him to a common Inne made prouision for him And on the morrow when hee departed hee tooke out two pence and gaue them to the hoste and said vnto him Take cure of him and whatsoeuer thou spendest more when I come againe I will recompense thee Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theeues And he said vnto him He that shewed mercie on him Then said Iesus to him Goe and doe thou likewise The xiiij Sunday after Trinitie The Collect. ALmighty and euerlasting God giue vnto vs the increase of faith hope and charitie and that wee may obtaine that which thou doest promise make vs to loue that which thou doest cōmand through Iesus Christ our Lord. The Epistle I Say Gal. 5.16 walke in the spirit and fulfill not the lust of the flesh For the flesh lusteth contrarie to the spirit and the spirit contrary to the flesh These are contrary one to the other so that ye cannot doe whatsoeuer ye would But and if ye be led of the spirit then are yee not vnder the law The deeds of the flesh are manifest which are these Adultery fornication vncleannesse wantonnesse worshipping of images witchcraft hatred variance zeale wrath strife seditions sects enuying murder drunkennesse gluttonie and such like of the which I tel you before as I haue told you in times past that they which commit such things shall not be inheritors of the kingdome of God Contrarily the fruit of the spirit is loue ioy peace long suffering gentlenesse goodnesse faithfulnesse
